THE POLGAR SISTERS

It turns out that not all of my followers know that the outstanding Judit Polgar had two grandmaster sisters.

But first things first.👇

💁🏻‍♀️💁‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️Three sisters from Budapest: Zhuzha (Susan), Sofia, and Judit Polgar - became grandmasters, winners of chess tournaments, and heroines of the Guinness Book of Records.

In the mid-1960s, their father, Laszlo Polgar, had an idea of an ambitious experiment - raising children of genius. 🙇‍♀️

Having studied the greats' biographies, he concluded: the secret of success is in the highest degree of concentration and long, detailed work.

The experiment began when Zhuzha turned three years old. Zhuzha found dad's chess in a drawer and became very interested. So instead of dolls, chess entered the girl's life.♟

👧By the age of 10, Zhuzha became a master of sports in chess among adults, and at the age of 12, she was already beating eminent grandmasters.

She did not stop there, and in 1990 became a grandmaster in the men's version of chess. Later at the age of 30, Zhuzha became the first female chess player on the planet.😱

The younger ones followed the older sister. In 1988, they made a splash when they all took part in the women's chess Olympiad.🏆 The family trio took first place.

In 1989, Sofia also unexpectedly declared herself to the whole world when, at the age of 14, she received the title of Master of Sports in Chess at the World Championships in Rome.

🎯She scored the most points in the history of the world chess championships - 2879.

In 2005, Zhuzha entered the Guinness Book of Records, setting a record for the number of games: playing on 326 boards simultaneously, she won 309 games, drew 14 games, and lost only three.🔥

🙋🏻‍♀️But the career of the youngest, Judit, became the most stellar. She became the youngest grandmaster in the world (at the age of 15, a month earlier than Bobby Fischer). And she defeated almost all living male grandmasters.

So we can say that Laszlo Polgar's experiment was a success.😉

🤖COMPUTER VS HUMAN🙋🏼‍♂️
⠀
Who will win in chess❓ If you thought it will be human, I need to disappoint you😉👇
⠀
🏆In May 1997, world champion Garry Kasparov lost a six-game match to the Deep Blue supercomputer developed by the American corporation IBM.

This event made a splash in the chess world, and now no one is surprised by the power of artificial intelligence.
⠀
The strongest grandmasters of the planet cannot play on equal terms with the chess engines of the latest generations!
⠀
Why does the computer play better?
⠀
🖥Due to data processing algorithms.

Computer processors have performance unattainable for the human brain. The machine is capable of simultaneously analyzing hundreds of options for the development of a party.
⠀
🖥 Artificial intelligence can analyze the current game and look for variants of moves in the notations of hundreds of thousands of fights of the strongest grandmasters on the planet.
⠀
🖥 The memory of a human chess player is limited, but the capabilities of a computer are not.

Unlike humans, artificial intelligence can "see" the game up to the last movement of the piece from the very beginning of the match.
⠀
Do you think artificial intelligence will be able to replace humans in technical professions in the future?🤔

Tigran Petrosyan - 9th World Chess Champion!
⠀
Tigran Petrosyan is soviet grandmaster of Armenian origin, four-time USSR champion, and 9th world chess champion.
⠀
👉On June 17, 1929, he was born in Tbilisi in the Armenian family. He lost his father and mother early and was brought up by his older sister Vartush. He began to play chess in the early 40s under the USSR Master of Sports Archil Ebralidze.
⠀
🥉The first success came to Tigran at 16, when he won the Georgian championship. A year later, in a distinctive style, he won the youth tournament in Leningrad (Saint Petersburg now).

Finally, in 1947, the young player beat the Armenian championship and received the title of master.
⠀
🥈In 1949, Petrosyan made his debut in the Union championships, taking only 16th place.

However, already in 1951, he managed to become a prize-winner and get the right to take part in an interzonal tournament. Thus, in 1952, Petrosyan received the title of the international master.
⠀
🥇Tigran got his first chance to fight for the world crown in 1953, where he took 6th place. Finally, Petrosyan met his hour in 1962 at the Candidates Tournament in Curacao.

Behind were the first magnitude stars - Robert Fischer, Viktor Korchnoi, and Mikhail Tal, and only one rival - Mikhail Botvinnik - was ahead.
⠀
🏆In 1963, Petrosyan won the world championship match with Botvinnik.
⠀
Within a year of six years, the chess player knew no defeat. Being the strongest player, Petrosyan won several representative tournaments: Tel Aviv (1964), Havana (1966), Lugano (1968).
⠀
In 1966, he defended his title in the fight against the young Boris Spassky. But after three years, in a bitter struggle, he lost to the challenger with a score of 10.5: 12.5.
⠀
Having conceded the title of champion, Petrosyan continued to be one of the strongest players.
⠀
In 1974 he was stopped by V. Korchnoi at the semifinal stage, and three years later by him, but already in the quarterfinals. Finally, at the age of 50 (1979), Petrosyan became the winner of the interzonal tournament in Rio de Janeiro.

5 MAIN BEGINNER MISTAKES
⠀
Keep a helpful post in your notes! 👌
⠀
1️⃣Unwillingness to develop positions
⠀
♟ The most common mistake is when a player begins to develop only a few pieces and goes to attack with a limited number of them. As a result, due to more preparation, the opponent has more advantageous positions after the exchange.
⠀
2️⃣ Empty passages
⠀
♟Moves forward without a specific goal, leading to losses. Instead, each move should pursue some goal and be a step towards the finish line.
⠀
3️⃣Weak pawns
⠀
A far moved pawn can be not only a strength but also a weakness if it is far away from the "team". In addition, weak squares are formed around the pawns. Therefore, you should carefully weigh the pros and cons of each pawn move. Otherwise, you can quickly weaken your position for the invasion of the opponent's pieces.
⠀
4️⃣Ignoring pinning
⠀
♟ Beginners often do not notice that the opponent can attack a pinned piece and win it. Sometimes they completely forget about the pin and move with a pinned figure, losing a more valuable one.
⠀
5️⃣Disregard for the safety of your king
⠀
♟Do not forget to castle - on the flank, the king is usually safer than in the center. Make sure that in case of a possible attack, there are defenders next to the king. Also, do not unnecessarily move the pawns that cover your most important piece.

❗️TOP-3 THE BEST CHESS GAMES
⠀
✅1. Kasparov vs. Topalov, Wijk aan Zee 1999
⠀
The fantastic ending of this fight at one time bypassed all the chess magazines of the world.
⠀
🧐Dutch grandmaster Hans Ree wrote: “Those who are fortunate enough to be present at this game will tell their children and grandchildren about it. "
⠀
The Parts-Ufimtsev defense was played, but black did not dare to go for a versatile castling. However, this in no way prevented white from reaching the enemy king.
⠀
✅2. Aronian vs. Anand, Wijk aan Zee 2013
⠀
The game that Magnus Karlsen called the best and predicted that it will go on forever.🔥
⠀
In their game, the Slavic defense was played, which turned out after the usual Queen's Gambit. The first moves were standard, but after the 12th move, Anand began to use new items that were unexpected for Levon Aronian.😳
⠀
As a result, Anand was able to win this game with Black in just 23 moves, which speaks of the great value of the opening, especially at the grandmaster level.👍
⠀
✅3. Byrne v. Fisher, New York 1956
⠀
🙋🏻‍♂️White was played by 26-year-old master Donald Byrne, one of the strongest chess players in the United States of the time. 🙇‍♂️The 13-year-old Bobby, who was just beginner in the chess world, played black.
⠀
The game saw a remarkable queen sacrifice, which did not lead to a forced checkmate, but demonstrated the strength of the harmonious position of the pieces.♟

🤔What 3 chess games would you call the best?

🔥4 tips to get a tie-break advantage.
⠀
A tie-break comes to the rescue when you need to complete a draw. After the end of the game, 4 more but shorter are carried out.
⠀
🤔How does it work?
⠀
If one of the opponents gains 2.5 points during the competition, then he will become the winner of the match. For example, it is enough to win once and reduce 3 games to a draw.
⠀
👍What will help to make a short game successful?
⠀
1. Leave all the search for the perfect combination for the classic game. There is not a minute to lose in a tiebreaker.🤯
⠀
2. Try to surprise your opponent.
Prepare an unexpected opening. The opponent will have to play accurately and quickly, and this can lead to errors that can be used.😉
⠀
👎What shouldn't be allowed?
⠀
3. Getting into time trouble.
The hardest part about a tiebreaker is realizing an edge. You cannot relax after winning a move; you must make every effort to retain the victory.🥇
⠀
4. At any time in the tie-break, everything can change.
Therefore, calculating long variations is a wrong strategy that will lead to the collapse of the entire party. The main thing is try not to make huge mistakes.❌
⠀
♟There are different opinions about the time-break, but the system is already well established in practice.
⠀
Do you think is fair that a champion in classical chess is determined by the results of quick games?🤔
